A Farewell to Arms Page #4

---

Why don't you be like me? All fire

and smoke.

And nothing inside.

- Come on baby.

- You're drunk, stop it.

Of course I am drunk. You come

with me and you will be drunk too.

Come on baby.

Oh, I am sorry. Now you must

come. There is no more ink.

Get your hands off of me and get out!

Poor baby....

Poor baby....

...and I will put you in, a good Italien

liver and make you a man again.

Ciao baby

You're going out Senor Capitano?

You're going out Senor Capitano?

The mail just came, Senor

Capitano.

You sensor it.

Senor Capitano.....the officers mail too.

- Aren't you going to open them

Senor Capitano? - No!

I'm in a hurry.

- Send this one back.

- Yes, Senor Capitano.

I do not like to see himself lose his

head over a woman.

Yes Senor Capitano.

And today my letters came back.

Everyone that I'd ever written to her.

Came back?

Just marked return to sender.

Person unknown.

Well, that's very strange.

-32 letters. She never got one.

- Well, that's why she never wrote you.

No, she'd have written me anyway.

Something's happened to her.

- Have you tried......

- I can't get any information at all.

- I've got to go and fi nd her, myself.

- Now, can you?

I'm going to Milan.

I'll fi nd her.

I'm going to Milan. I'll fi nd her.

- I'm going anyway.

- I'm going anyway.

- I'm going anyway.

- You'll be caught.

- You mustn't do this Frederico

- You mustn't do this Frederico

That's what I wanted to tell you padre.

What does this war mean to me

anymore?

What does anything mean, but

finding her.

- But Frederico, consider the.......

- I can depend on you padre?

Say good-bye to Renaulte and the

others for me.

- When are you leaving?

- Now.

While they are at dinner. And by

morning when they miss me, I'll be

halfway to Milan.

If they ask me.....what do I

say...what....

Anything you like.

- Good-bye Father.

- Good-bye Frederico.

May the Lord bless and preserve

you.

What are you Capitans doing in the

yards?

- Looking for stragelers.

- What do you do with them?

Send them back to fight in the war.

Every foot of Italien soil must be

regained.

- What if they don't want to go back?

- What if they don't want to go back?

Who's there?

Where's Catherine?

- What are you doing back here?

- What are you doing back here?

I know you. You run away. You're a

deserter.

- Where is she? I've got to see her.

- You can't. She's gone.

- Gone! Where?

- You'd better get out.

Has she been transferred?

If you don't get out of here, I'll

scream and bring the whole

hospital down on you.

- Why'd she go. Where? Tell me.

- No!

Tell me where she is!!

I hate you, understand? I won't tell

you anything.

I hope they catch you.

I hope they shoot you.

To pay you back for what you've

done to her. Making her have a baby.

Baby?

I warned you, but you didn't care.

Not about her.

- Now she's had to go away.

- Where?

Where? For pity's sake, tell me.

- Fergie!

- No!

No, no!

And get me some clothes. A full

outfit. I can't go around in this uniform.

As long as I don't get mixed up in it

myself.

You won't. I just want you to get

some things and put an

advertisement in the newspaper for me.

I really oughtn't to, if I had any sense.

I know I shall have awful gas pains

in the morning as a result of this.

Just say......

Catherine, where are you?

I am free at last.

Meet me at the Palace Hotel,

Stressa.

Signed Frederic.

The Major made an obituary

speech in your memory and the

priest wanted to say mass for your soul.

Vermouth. One for you?

Two vermouth.

You see, we all thought you were

dead.

It never occurred to us that you

could be shell-shocked, wandered

away, lost your memory.

How did you find me?

I saw your advertisement in the paper.

As soon as we knew it was you, we made

all the arrangements. Renaulte will work

on you, one of his miraculous cures.

You will go back a hero.

I'm not going back.

They will decorate you for bravery.

They will even promote you.

No!

I'm through the war. Get that

straight.

But you can't do that. You can't say

I am through with the war.

They will not let you do that.

Two vermouth.

- Can I speak to you a moment sir?

- It's all right Harry, he's my friend.

I.......

He keeps telling me it is dangerous

for me to stay here any longer.

- When will they come?

- Tonight, tomorrow , who knows......but soon.

My boat is still ready sir.

Thank-you Harry.

If they arrest you, no one can save you.

- I know that.

- They will shoot you.

Look! Get this through your head,

I'm not going back!

I'm going to wait here until I can fi nd

Catherine.

And how do you expect to do that?

I've got some people looking for her.

- If that is more important than......

- If that is more important than......

My baby.

So. That means everything to you.

Yes, it would.

It means that I got to fi nd her...

... and get her out of Italy.

- Maybe she's not in ltaly.

- What makes you say that?

She is in Switzerland.

Where?

- Brissago.

- Brissago?

Harry!

Will you do one for me too?

Yes madame. Step around here.

Just the head please.

Isn't there any mail for me yet?

Ah, madame. Yes, yes today there

are letters.

- Many letters.

- Many!

- 20.

- 20! Well that was worth waiting for....

It is across the lake. Off course,

about 55 km.

I can make it.

But at the frontier, there will be sentries.

And you will have to watch out for

patrol boats. I will.

- If it blows too hard......

- I won't drown.

Have you enough money? Here.

Won't you need it?

There must be a Villa Rosa in

another port.

Always the same girls, until they

become like old friends. War commrades.

Take it baby, please, please.

You're a good egg.

No, I am not a good egg. I am a

fool.

But, if I had understood how you felt

about her......

Good luck baby.

Ciao.

It doesn't work.

- Should I get a new cyclinder doctor?

- It is a new cyclinder.

Oh I wanted so to have this baby

and not make any trouble....

....and now I'm all done... All

gone to pieces.

She is losing strenght fast doctor.

There's no use. I'll have to operate.

That was lovely.....

...Frederic....darling.....

You mustn't worry darling.

I'm not going to die now.

I got past the place where I was

going to die.

Of course you are not going to die.

You mustn't think about it.

- Is she going to be all right?

- Are you her husband?

Yes.

She kept calling for you all night. lt

would have been better if you'd been here.

I'm sorry.....is she in danger?

- She is very weak.

- Do you suppose I could see her now?

- Later......later.

- It won't be long.

She can't die.

Did you call?

No, I didn't say anything.

Not yet.

- Is she all right?

- I hope so.

The baby?

A boy, but it was already dead

before she came in here.

But she'll be all right?

That's not in my hands any longer.

Go across the street and get

yourself some breakfast.

You look as if you need it.

It will be some time before she can

see you.

It will be some time before she can
